ST. Paul Telegram: From q letter
from New York it 10 learned that As.
sistant Manager Odell's resignation
from the Northern Pacific is the first
gun in the campaign of radical
changes planned by the Willard party.
The letter intimstes that his Tesignz-
ton Was forced because he was power
less 10 stem the work OF the corrupt
land ring dominating Northern Pa
cific affairs which Willard is deter
mined TO wipe out. The retirement
oI Vice President 0skes and President
Harris are the next steps promised.
The land ring of the Northern Pacific
Is one of the most corrupt concerns
that ever fastened it's fsDgs on the
throat of q territory. Ii lie openly
charged in Dakota that this ring has
nearly ruined the prospects Of that
territory. Emigrants have been pro-
hibited from settling along the line OF
the road in order 10 provide large
tracts for speculation. Willard is said
to grow more indignant every day ss
he examines into affairs and finds to
what an enormous amount the road
has been cheated out of contiguous
population. Negotiations for the con.
solidation Of the Northern Pacific and
the Wisconsin Central railways are
now in rapid Progress. A through
line from Chicago to the Pacific will
soou be arranged. The consolidation
Is great blow 1T many OF the North
westerns interests and II is intimsted
that the tour OF Chsuncy NJ. Depew
has something TO do with Vanderbilt
interests. which are somewhat dis
turbed by the threatened swallowing
Of its through traffic by the Wiscon-
sin Central.

Free Trade.

The reduction Of internal revenue
and the taking Off Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden Of home
manufacturers. Especially Is this the
case with Green's August Flower and
Boschet's German Syrup, rs the re-
ducton of thirty-six cents per dozer
has been added TO increase he tsize OF
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one.fifth more medi'
cine in the rs cents size. The August
Flower for dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaiut, and the German syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, havedper-
haps, the largest sale of any medicines
ia the world. The advantages OF in
creased size of the bottles will be great
ly appreciated by the sick aud afflicted
In every town and village in civilized
countries. sample bottle for 10 cents

Washington Telegram: In his re.
port the commissioner Of the land
Office shows that since March 1, 1885,
81 ,S2i, 4Sl acres have been restored 10
the public domain. Sales, entries and
selections Of public lands for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1857, embrace
q, i'll 400 acres and Of Indian lands
746,6S7 acres, making total OF p, $751;

year 1856 of 73S, 47i acres.

TONED in their respective grants
OF fraudulent land entries the COM
missioner says that the Investigations
of the past year have been satisfactory
and that in no previous year has such
effective work been done. As result
2,3l2 entries, covering about $40, 1000
acres, were held for cancellation and
,l53 entries, covering about $50,
acres, were cancelled for fraud. "Such
record OF crime as that shown by in.
vestieatioDs OF special agents during
the last two years Is rarely to be found.
Bold, reckless and gigantic schemes to
rob the government Of is lands have
been discovered and exposed In every
state and territory containing public
lands, and think | can truthfully
say in every land district and county
that the special land agents have Wis
tied. Men of intelligence and high
standing, in many instances million
aires, We're leaders In these unlawful
transactions. Over 5000 cases have
been discovered where perjury or su.
bordination Of perjury was committed.
In majority of cases the officers be-
fore whom the proofs or other papers
were executed, largely state and terri.
torisl officers not directly responsible
to the land department, were cogni-
zsDt Of the fraud or could have become
so by ordinary diligence. What is
needed In my opinion lie entire refor.
nation of the existing laws, retaining
the absolute homestead and obsoleting
all other forms OF disposing OF the az
ricultural lands. Actual residence,
improvement and cultivation for a
homestead period Of five years should
be the exclusive conditions of acquir.
ing title to such lands. Ii would also
appear that the time has arrived when
the privilege of appropriating public
lands should be confined TO citizens OF
the United States. Mineral laws
should be so amended n to preserve
the right OF mineral explorations to
citizens of the United States.
